I wrote this exactly six months ago. The interesting thing is I find myself praying more for myself in these situations than I do for the others. I have come to realize that often it is actually my stress or lack of patience that causes me to react the way I do. Hmmm.

We were in a traffic jam today as we traveled. Instead of getting impatient like I normally do, I prayed for those who were no doubt in the accident ahead of us. That certainly puts a new light on ones reactions.

Plan and Schedule

Treat exercise like any other appointment you have to attend.

Make an appointment with yourself and do NOT cancel!

MORE INFORMATION:
My gym is two minutes walk away and they have made a deal with me that if I am more than 15 minutes late they will call...unless I have informed them previously of a change in schedule for an important reason.
